I have 2 hosts per cluster, and i have 2 clusters, 4 hosts (its an Huawei x6000)
I know oVirt don't support disperse, that's why i run gluster outside of oVirt.
And doing that i get a bit more freedom with setting up gluster.
So what would be an good setup to be able to use as much space as possible and some
redundancy with the 4 hosts i have?
Even if you run gluster outside of oVirt, you are using the disperse
volume as storage domain?
For a supported config, you can create a distributed-replica+arbiter
gluster volume. Since you have 12 disks, you can use a 5 x 3 (arbiter)
setup, where a disk is partitioned to multiple arbiter bricks,
something like this (c11,c12, a31, a32 are arbiter bricks) :
a1 b1 c11
a2 b2 c12
b3 c13 d1
a31 c2 d2
a32 c3 d3
